Thank you for the way you chose to cover the firing of New Mexico School for the Arts faculty member Orlando Madrid. My son, Gideon Buchleiter, is the pianist in the NMSA Jazz Combo that participated in the New York Jazz Festival this past April. It was good to see some acknowledgement of the talent and accomplishment of these students, and your shout-out of encouragement to them meant the world to us. While I feel that the news coverage of Mr. Madrid’s dismissal has been fair and factual overall, it has had the unfortunate effect of diminishing both the student’s achievements and of NMSA as a whole in the public eye. As is so often the case, your writing brought some balance back to the equation. The saddest part of this whole story is that none of the coverage recognizes what an excellent young teacher Orlando Madrid was. Don’t get me wrong—his dismissal was completely necessary and appropriate. It is my hope, though, that when it’s all said and done, there will be people who also remember the tremendous positive impact he had on his students overall. Finally, I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your writing style, your humor, and the balance you bring to your brief news summaries in The Morning Word each day.

In regards to John Roby’s June 12 cover story—I would be interested to hear what Mr. Roby thinks of his home state of Texas allowing for exemptions based not only on medical reasons but also for “reasons of conscience” (religious exemptions being included as one example within this category) and also, curiously, allowing for exemptions “for active duty members of the United States armed forces.” Would he have any insight into that reasoning or take issue with those exemptions? Also, I am curious, perhaps Mr. Roby (being a data guy) would be able to find the data on documented cases of measles in New Mexico starting from when records were first kept—roughly the turn of the century, before statehood. It appears to have been, and continues to be, a relatively rare disease in New Mexico, and I wondered if he was able to find any statistics on the number of cases throughout our history or if New Mexico has EVER at all reported a death from measles. Lastly—in assessing the risks of any given situation it’s always wise to consider who stands to profit off of, say, the distribution of vaccines, and listen much less to those who benefit monetarily from distribution.

Citizenship Question Looms Large The Supreme Court is scheduled to rule on the 2020 Census ”citizenship question” any day—and New Mexico has a lot to lose BY L E A H CA N TO R l e a h @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

To add to the suspense, new evidence submitted in a last-minute court filing last week suggests political and racial motives are behind the addition of the citizenship question. The submitted files, authored by Thomas Hofeller, a deceased Republican strategist notorious for gerrymandering and redistricting schemes, include an unpublished 2015 report detailing how adding a citizenship question to the 2020 Census could be “advantageous to Republican and Non-Hispanic Whites.” Will these new allegations sway the court? It’s hard to tell. What’s certain: The hardest-hit states would be those with large Hispanic populations where an undercount could mean a significant loss in funding and
s the the 2020 US Census count bears down, along with the deadline for a highly anticipated Supreme Court decision, New Mexico has perhaps more at stake than any other state in the nation. Complicating matters this year for our state—which, with its many cultures and rural nature, has historically been difficult for counters to accurately assess—is the so-called “citizenship question” the Trump administration wants to slap onto the Census. Every 10 years, the US Census Bureau attempts to count every person living in the country. The Census is at the heart of the American political process—results are used to distribute political representation at every level of government, including in the US Congress, statehouses, county commissions and city councils. The count is also used to allocate federal funding for programs such as Medicaid and public education. Trump wants the count to include a question about whether respondents are US citizens. Among his arguments is that it would help enforce Voting Rights Act protections for minorities. Opponents of the change, including the Census Bureau itself, say the ques-tion could lead to a significant undercount due to fears among immigrant families that their responses could put them in jeopardy. A group of mostly blue states sued Trump in federal court, arguing that the citizenship question is unconstitutional. Now, the country waits for the US Supreme Court to make a final ruling. The justices are set to decide by July 1, the official deadline by which the Census Bureau must begin printing Census forms and mailings.

A community garden in Española looks to the area’s roots to replace old narratives
Amos P scrambles up through the Healing Foods Oasis.
BY SAMMY FELDBLUM a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
I
n the middle of Española, Beata Tsosie-Peña has gravel blooming. Beside the town’s public library, on a site that for years was just a rocky hill, walking paths now cut through a leafy, terraced garden. This is the Española Healing Foods Oasis, a project designed to reconnect people in the area to their land-based cultural histories—while providing them with medicine, food and dyes. The plants in the garden have produced those things locally for centuries. For Tsosie-Peña, though, defining the plants that way risks tautology. “We say ‘edible medicinal plant,’ but that’s just like saying ‘plant plant plant,’” she tells SFR at a community workday in late April, wearing a brown T-shirt emblazoned with “Protect Bears Ears.” “Because every plant has a use. Either those, or it benefits the soil, or it’s a companion plant, or nitrogen-fixing. “Even all these things they’re pulling out?” she adds, pointing to the volunteers weeding in the dye-and-fibers section of the garden. “Those are edible.” In 2012, Tsosie-Peña took a course in permaculture with the Traditional Native American Farmers Association on Tesuque Pueblo. Newly equipped with an eye for sustainable systems, she saw that during rainstorms—a rare event in a city that receives just 11 inches a year—the water washed from the parking lot over the hill and pooled in the park below. “I had just learned about all these dryland farming agricultural techniques,” she says, “so I was aware of how much water wasn’t being caught off of that slope.” So Tsosie-Peña began kicking around ideas about how to put that water to use with Tewa Women United, a Native-
led intertribal group of activists from Española, whose environmental justice efforts Tsosie-Peña heads. The group broke ground on the project in 2016, landscaping the slope and sowing its first seeds. Four years later, with walking paths and rails, piñons and amaranth, the garden stretches nearly two acres. It is multi-use and open, available for use as community members see fit. Anyone may come and pick off some produce to use—the group asks only that harvesters first seek a plant’s permission. That emphasis on consent keeps with a larger emphasis of the group: the connection of environmental justice with reproductive and gender justice. Indigenous women are killed, according to the US Department of Justice, at a rate 10 times higher than the rest of the population in some areas—and even that figure may be a gross undercount, as nobody really knows just how many Indigenous women have gone missing in recent years. Kathy Sanchez, a founding elder of the group, recalls that she and her co-founders conceived Tewa Women United as a way “to provide safe spaces for women to recover our innate strengths that we have within us.” To do so, they decided, meant also providing safety for Mother Earth, that oldest of Native women. Certain programming makes explicit the connection between reproductive and environmental health. As TWU was planning the garden, the group contacted local doulas to inquire about which plants might be helpful in their work with expectant mothers. Now, the students in the group’s doula training program can access those plants downtown. It’s all part of “changing the narrative,” says Maia Duerr, the group’s generosity
facilitator and volunteer coordinator. “Let’s give Española something to be really proud of.” Española has a legacy of tragedy. Its home county, Rio Arriba, spent much of the past two-plus decades with the nation’s highest rate of heroin overdose deaths, giving it a hard-luck reputation in New Mexico. Tsosie-Peña hopes the Healing Foods Oasis and other projects aimed at community-building will receive more attention instead. “It’s really awful that the surrounding communities continue to feed that negative narrative instead of looking at all the positive things happening in the community,” she says. “They’re just contributing to the harm, instead of healing.” The county, with large Indigenous and Hispanic populations, wears its colonial history heavily. Tsosie-Peña sees that history reflected in the environmental degradation the community is experiencing today.
Autumn Gomez and Santana take a pause during a garden workday.
NEWS
“The colonial impacts have never lessened, they’ve just changed forms,” she says. “So now it’s more on the environment, and not a direct physical assault.” She worries particularly about contamination of the local water system by a chemical called hexavalent chromium leaking from nearby Los Alamos National Laboratory. To that end, TWU is experimenting with bricks laden with oyster mushrooms, whose mycelium—a sort of underground network of tendrils—sucks up toxins from the surrounding earth. At the garden, the group hopes to protect the plants from any chemicals in the parking lot at the top of the hill. Eventually, Tsosie-Peña hopes that such “mycoremediation” can be deployed on a wider scale to decontaminate area aquifers. This year, the garden is growing. Emily Arisim, 25, who grew up in Tesuque, is leading a new seed library initiative out of the book library across the way, where farmers or laymen will be able to come from the surrounding community for envelopes of seeds. The gallery of plants fronting the library, Arisim says, will make it a “living seed library; a really beautiful one.” Tsosie-Peña thinks of the garden and its offshoots as a connection to the land and the Native people who have lived here for many centuries. “The city of Española is ancestral Tewa land,” she says. “The more we can recognize our responsibility as caregivers of that place, we’re able to recognize our land-based strengths, to where we’re feeding that ancestral spiritual energy and not any of the negative narratives that are out there.” TWU hopes to pass that energy down: The original group of elders is still around, but a younger crowd is in charge of day-today operations. Cathy Sanchez’ daughter Corinne is now the group’s executive director. And Autumn Gomez, 32, is in charge of interfacing with yet another generation. She first encountered TWU through her doula work, and now she is the group’s coordinator of youth outreach. At her weekly meetings with youngsters, she focuses on self-care strategies and community-building, and sees the same themes at work in the Healing Foods Oasis. As she speaks with SFR at the community workday in April, two kids jog up to her with a dead caterpillar. “This poor thing died!” one blurts out. “Oh no!” Gomez tells her. “What are you going to do for it?” The girl looks down and considers. “We’re going to give it a proper burial.” “Well,” Gomez replies, “just do it in a place where you can be safe.” Nodding, the kids run back off into the garden.

aspect of sustainability involved with them,” Wilson says. This sort of curriculum is also wending its way into the Santa Fe Public Schools system. While SFPS has 13 solar-powered campuses and activities related to sustainability, starting in the next academic year, students can enroll in a new Advanced Placement environmental science class at both Capital and Santa Fe High schools. Environmentally conscious practices such as recycling, composting and water conservation are immensely important as well. “These are practical things, life skills, information they are going to … use as adults,” SFPS Sustainability Program Specialist Elena Kayak says, noting that students not only explore these practices at school, but can also educate their parents about them at home. Students also learn about renewable energy tools, such as solar panels and wind turbines. Hands-on projects teach the importance of the environment in experiential ways. For example, elementary school students at Salazar, Nava and Carlos Gilbert are participating in the “Adopt an Arroyo” program, in which the schools’ fifth-grade classes not only clean up and maintain arroyos, but also learn about the surrounding ecosystems. Some elementary schools also have outdoor classrooms where students learn elements of environmental science, as well as composting and gardening skills. All of these practices and lessons given by SFPS are beneficial and have room to expand. Stephen Gómez, an associate professor and chair of sustainable trades and advanced technologies at SFCC, also has ideas on how his Green Energy Curriculum, which is only taught at SFCC, could be integrated into the K-12 environment. With that kind of curriculum, Gómez says, students would learn fundamental aspects of science in correlation with the importance of renewable energy. All levels of education would be delivered through hands-on or project-based learning rather than lecture-based science classes. For example, students can learn chemistry through a biodiesel class. Gómez also proposes that at the high school level, students should be able to take an energy literacy class “so that students know the difference between coal, oil [and] solar [energy].” Gómez is a member of the state Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department’s

of SFCC’s Biofuels Center of Excellence as well as its Innovation Center. When the center was built, he says, it was with the Field of Dreams “If You Build It, They Will Come” attitude. “Well, they did,” he says, “and they continue to come, and one of the things we find so rewarding is people are coming into these programs to change the world.” For this week’s cover story, four interns accepted into the spring training cohort for the New Mexico Fund for Public Interest Journalism, SFR’s nonprofit partner, dug into reporting and writing about some of the sustainability programs offered at SFCC. This project was created in a collaboration with the school’s Trades and Advanced Technology Center, and was partially funded through a grant from the City of Santa Fe’s Children and Youth Commission’s Innovation Fund. The Journo Fund will open for a new round of interns in the fall.

FOOD WITHOUT SOIL Could hydroponics be the key to growing crops in space? By Max Looft Just out of high school in the late 1980s, eating a diet of birds and fish, Charlie Shultz was surprised to see one day on the news that mounds of medical waste—syringes, pill bottles and blood vials—were washing up on the beaches of Atlantic City, New Jersey. Dubbed the Syringe Tide, the event caused him to realize the very food on which he was living was contaminated.
Prior to that day, Shultz saw fish as one of the best resources for efficiently and cleanly feeding people. From that point on, he began learning how to sustainably grow fish and, as far as back as the 1990s, he was envisioning how to use hydroponics to grow food in space. Today, Shultz, lead faculty for Santa Fe Community College’s controlled environment agriculture program, expands students’ horizons on alternative ways to farm and grow food. Hydroponics is a simple concept, but hard to master. It requires growing food without soil, by cycling nutrient-rich water through the roots. Aquaponics, the field in which Shultz specializes, is a similar process, but adds fish to the equation, creating a symbiotic relationship between fish and plants, thereby growing both. Shultz teaches a variety of subjects in the program: plant anatomy, greenhouse management, hydroponics, aquaponics, water conservation and filtration. With these, his students learn many methods of managing greenhouses, and the jobs that come with them. Over the past few years, Shultz has begun to notice increasing numbers of students talking about space, and how the techniques they are learning may help grow food someplace other than Earth. Certainly, questions of how humans might live on another planet have risen in prominence with announcements such as NASA’s stated goal to return to the moon by 2024 and SpaceX’s proposals to colonize Mars. Even though Mars’ soil may prove suitable for growing certain crops,
Every drop of water is precious, and I want to get every use out of that drop as much as possible. -Charlie Shultz JULIA GOLDBERG
New Mexico Road Map Project, created with the nonprofit public-policy group New Mexico First, designed to make the state’s energy economy adaptable to future changes. Both SFPS and SFCC are working to help future generations recognize the importance of renewable energy sources. With the world’s climate situation as critical as it is today, future generations will have to learn sustainability and renewability for the planet to begin its path to recovery.
Controlled Environment Agriculture lead faculty member Charlie Shultz teaches students how to grow without soil—a technique that could be employed on other planets.
Shultz believes hydroponics and aquaponics is a better method for growing food on another planet. It’s a topic he has explored in articles co-authored with scientist and author Mark Nelson, a participant in the early 1990s in the closed-environment experiment Biosphere 2. “Having traditional farms on Mars just like here, it’s just not the way to use water efficiently,” Shultz says. “Just like here, every drop of water is precious, and I want to get every use out of that drop as much as possible.” It’s not a no-brainer for everyone, though. Farmer and scientist Linden Schneider, online education coordinator for the Santa Fe Institute, has been working in biogeochemistry for the last 12 years. She says soil is required to maintain the complexity of the food-growing process: “It cycles waste, it provides food, it stores water, it cycles gasses, and all of these things are really difficult to replicate because it comes out of that complex geochemical system,” she says. Moreover, in space, the water that soil uses in an environment with lower gravity would be reduced, putting it on slightly more even grounds with hydroponics. Mars’ soil itself presents a problem, though, as the soil isn’t exactly “soil,” but instead mostly volcanic rock devoid of life. Not only that, but Mars’ regolith—the layer above the bedrock—contains toxic salts known as perchlorates. This does not entirely take traditional farming out of the scenario, but it makes things more difficult. Other issues that need to be considered are what kinds of food need to be grown. Astronauts grew red romaine lettuce on the International Space Station back in 2015, demonstrating it as a viable option for food. Superfoods, as Shultz puts it, are ideal for cultivation in space because they have the ability to pull up the nutrients and accumulate them. Water spinach and sweet potato vines—even algae—are exceptionally high in nutrients. “I don’t think when we go to space it’s going to be about taste,” Shultz says. “It’s going to be what you need to live.” Linden views legumes as a viable source of food, as they are able to fix nitrogen and provide a high amount of protein. However, rather than advocate for one specific plant, she recommends using an agroecological approach in which the plant communities “are heterogeneous, and this provides a ton of interactions and benefits to us which we cannot quantify.” CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

3-year-old daughter’s school. When the students were asked where lettuce comes from, several responded by naming Burger King or McDonald’s. They did not realize that lettuce springs from the ground, much like daisies.
The dispute on how we can one day live on another planet continues, but there is one point on which many can agree: put those resources into Earth first. Although advancing into space may be the next frontier, home is still where we should develop these technologies to help those down here. Asked what he thinks about how we are progressing with better ways to grow food, both on and off-planet, Shultz had this to say: “I think we’re attacking it in a nice balance.” Overall, though, “I think we’re going to be here more than we’re going to be in space.”

Max Looft is a rising senior at Santa Fe High School, who is now in his second year of journalism. His articles mostly center around space and technology, and he has established his own column on the Demon Tattler for space news. His priorities lie in fiction writing, but believes journalism is a solid way to keep him writing and to broaden his horizons on the topic of science. His lack of outgoingness and quick energy is made up for in his steady and thorough work, which may not help with being a bustling reporter, but instead a solid writer.
I want to change people’s minds. I want to teach people where food comes from.
“I was like, ‘What is happening in this world?’” Casas Cordero says. A switch flipped in his mind and he realized: “I want to change the world. I want to change people’s minds. I want to teach people where food comes from.” He left his job as a graphic designer. “I started experimenting and doing my agriculture at home at my garden.” He and his family moved to the US a year and a half ago, when Hurricane Maria destroyed his farm in Puerto Rico. Today, he is a greenhouse technician and adjunct faculty member in SFCC’s controlled environment agriculture program. These days, when Casas Cordero checks on the greenhouse during school breaks and weekends, he sometimes brings his daughter with him. “Some-

times she’s like, ‘Dad, I like the cucumbers from your plants better than the ones at the store,’ because they taste better because they’re fresher. [In the store], they’re sitting there five [or] seven days before you buy them, and we’re eating them straight from the plant.” In the college’s controlled ag courses, students learn everything from small home systems to commercial systems, and classes emphasize hands-on practical experience growing plants using multiple systems. In one regularly offered two-credit class, students design and build greenhouses and growing systems, sometimes for other community members. This semester, for example, students are helping Monte Del Sol Charter School build its new dome greenhouse. Students previously worked on projects for Love Yourself Café and Ampersand Sustainable Learning Center. The benefits of a greenhouse and of growing one’s own food are many, including reducing food that is wasted as a result of transit and spoilage. Today, roughly one third of the food produced globally—approximately 1.3 billion tons—goes to waste, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. For restaurants, using locally grown produce means their products have a longer shelf life. Food grown in greenhouses also is reliably free of chemical fertilizers, and various crops can be grown out of season. Charlie Shultz, lead faculty for the controlled environment agriculture program, is in the midst of building—bit by bit to spread out the cost—his own greenhouse in his backyard at home. In addition to the benefits already mentioned, he sees other payoffs. “If I have lettuce in my greenhouse and you have chicken with eggs, we can trade,” he says. “I don’t have to do chickens and lettuce. If I can do just one crop, we can form more co-ops and communities. Growing in your backyard to barter and trade helps community development. It helps build more resilient communities.” In addition to helping others learn to build their own greenhouses, SFCC’s courses also experiment with ways to grow food more sustainably. One such way is the water recycling Dutch bucket method, in which plastic buckets are hooked up to pipes in order to circulate the water through the plants, and then back again so it wastes less water. The method is being used to grow crops such as lettuce, cucumbers and blackberries. And the plastic that’s used is put to good use, like the five blue recycling bins
Roadmap for Resilience
Anna Girdner, 19, is a rising sophomore at Santa Fe Community College. She has been writing creative pieces for many years, which helped her gain an interest in journalism. After taking several writing courses at SFCC, she finally felt that it was the right time to start pursuing journalism.
FARMING THE FUTURE Students find unique educational opportunities in emergent technologies Abey Torrez is harvesting a flat brimming with live lettuce. Its healthy white roots dangle below, smelling of pond water. The background gurgling of the underwater pumps, fish and algae further the sense of lush green freshness. Torrez, adjunct instructor and greenhouse technician, spends the early morning hours feeding schools of fish, performing water quality tests and harvesting produce. Then, in the afternoon, Torrez, who retired after 25 years as an Army master sergeant, co-teaches a hydroponics basics college prep class for high school students enrolled in the dual-credit Masters Program. “It’s fun to teach students the skills they need to grow plants like this,” he says. Torrez was in the second graduating class of the controlled environment agriculture program (formerly known as greenhouse management) in 2014. He pursued an associate’s degree in the field, followed by a certificate in algae cultivation. “When I retired from the Army, I was looking for something to do,” he says. “While I was in Iraq and Afghanistan, I saw how desperate people became. Because of the war, they couldn’t grow their own food—what they were used to— and relied on handouts so they would not starve. Then I came home and saw how

For example, in the summer of 2018, one of the older aquaponics systems had heating problems that caused diseases in the plants’ roots. Last winter, cold issues killed fish. Now, controlled ag and solar plumbing students are working together to build a solar water temperature optimization project funded by a student research grant from Climate Change New Mexico. “It’s good to be able to take the books and notes we take in class and apply it to something real,” says Billie Quillian, a solar technology/plumbing trades student. While Quillian is undecided about how working on this aquaponics coolJAMES TAYLOR
weather extremes and floods were affecting farmers here in the states, so I got interested in growing things in a new way.” He went to the Veterans Resource Center at the college, where he was hired to counsel other vets and help them adjust to college life. When he heard about the new agriculture program, he says, “I signed myself up.” In controlled environment agriculture, students learn the complex mixture of sciences it takes to be a successful farmer, including greenhouse design, soilless production systems, hydroponic plant growth and aquaponics. When Torrez signed up for the basic hydroponics and greenhouse design classes, the podshaped geodesic dome greenhouse was newly built and the college’s 900-gallon aquaponics system newly installed. As a more advanced student, Torrez helped stock the aquaponics system with tilapia and then started to grow produce in the growing beds. He has witnessed the results. “I grow vegetables in my soil garden at home, but for some plants, nothing compares to the dome. The nutrients are all right there for the plants and they grow like crazy. Look at this tomato vine—it must be 25 feet long, and it is over a year old!” Torrez looks over at a small group of students and instructors at the other side of the greenhouse. “One of the really good things about this place is that when we find a problem, we teach the students how to fix it.”
repurposed as papaya tree pots. “I’m the kind of guy that promotes if you want to use plastic, then use plastic you’re going to reuse,” Casas Cordero says. The facility, Casas Cordero says, introduces students to a variety of systems—commercial and small-scale—“to expose [them] to what’s really out there.” But the program overall has a more capacious impact: “We’re trying to use this college to guide people to another vision,” Casas Cordero says. “There’s always a way to fix things, there’s always a way to be creative and always a way to do the right thing.”

ing project will help her new career, she could see benefits, so she signed up for the class. “It will help my resume, saying that I worked on a research project.” Two other solar technology students, Mark Garcia and Homero Guardado, have latched on to the potential of the solar water temperature optimizing technology and are installing it on a new 3,000-gallon aquaponics system. The equipment only adds to the futuristic look of the building design—a shelter from the sun and desert. Excited to be involved in a new way to control aqua environments, the two are building it from basic parts like small pumps, PEX tubing and water tanks. As they push the large water tank into place, Garcia looks up and says, “I really wanted to work on this project because it is all new and no one else is doing it yet.” His dusty face is lined with fatigue. “I worked last night at the water treatment plant, had a nap for an hour or two, then showed up here. I’m tired, but I wouldn’t miss it.” Guardado works as a photovoltaics technician and is taking classes to learn more about other solar technologies. As he was wrapping insulation around a PEX pipe, he leaned over and whispered emphatically, as if letting us in on a secret, “This system is so awesome! Can you imagine all that cooling for next to nothing?” He laughs to himself. “I just know this is going to work! Fifteen times more efficient than AC? So cool.” Both students say they want to stay close to the project for the course of its demonstration because they think this is a new skill that plumbing jobs will require. The success of the controlled environment agriculture program puts more pressure on teachers, so Torrez now has plans to pursue a bachelor of arts in sustainability degree. He is a humble role model, and proactively reaches out to both young students and grizzled vets if he hears they are having trouble with their studies. “I like what I am doing here,” he says, “and I like to teach, so I am going to see if I can combine the two at a higher level.” James Taylor is a grower, poet and dog lover who lives in Cochiti Lake. He retired from research and grant writing. Then a couple of weeks later, he woke up one morning wondering how humankind is going to survive ignorance, pestilence and hunger—so he went back to college to find out. Now he is a senior student at SFCC, learning and writing about controlled environment agriculture and how it can help in the effort to feed everyone in Northern New Mexico.

Local comics creators share their wares “The majority of us have more than one job, and you have your other jobs in order to make comics,” writer Steph Alia says. Alia’s Alcheringa, about a woman warrior who does battle in a land of dreams, is nearing its next issue, and Alia says she’s written through yet another and is just waiting for one of the principal artists, Adam Frank, to complete his contributions. Alia is one of many local comics creators scheduled to showcase work and wares at Big Adventure Comics this Saturday. In addition to the first issue of Alcheringa, Alia says she’ll show off the artwork from the upcoming associated oneiromancy deck created in conjunction with Alcheringa’s world. She’ll also open up preorders for a hardcover edition of the comic’s first four issues, and will have a number of other products based on her work available. It’s been a particularly good run for Alia and company. Last year found Alcheringa at San Diego’s Comic Con for

he death knell of the guitar rang long, long ago, but no one seems to know the time of death. Truthfully, “guitar music”—the most unimaginative and least helpful attempt at a genre since “post-whatever”—is as popular as ever. Bands with guitars continually grace our streaming playlists. NPR profiles and late-night talk shows are lousy with sixstrings. Guitar players still fill theaters and coffee shops alike. But, anecdotally, I always find myself having to speak in the guitar’s defense. It’s considered by some to be outdated or even obsolete, and with modern music continuing to give rise to the sample-and-synth-based golden age, there is still plenty of room for growth for an instrument that, once worshipped to totemic extremes, is now enjoying a humble moment in the strange trip that is music history. Maybe it sounds like I’m setting up a straw man argument here. You’re sitting there wondering why something so ubiquitous requires my defense— and you might be right. For the most part, the attempts at panic-inducing thinkpiece headlines in great histrionic tones such as one published last year by VICE (“Rock is Dead, Thank God“) tend to draw the conclusion that, well, no. People still like watching people play guitars, preferably when players are shredding them, but what these articles tend to say is that the era of the guitar icons is over in terms of market share. And that part’s true. But artists can still benefit within the mid-tier market, your club gigs and theater shows. With the continuing garage rock explosion that vaulted acts like Ty Segall and Black Lips into effective, profitable careers and the resurgence of dream pop bands like Beach House or Cherry Glazerr, there is still money to be made by axe slingers. They just aren’t going to be taking the stage at the Grammys any time soon

honky-tonk with a beautiful, white hollow body guitar. He even sings about the guitar. He even strums at the guitar. There is NO GUITAR PLAYING in that part of the song. It almost makes me wish the guitar were dead. But that’s just what’s going on at the top of the charts, which is its own strange and unremarkable beast. Here in Santa Fe, even in the midst of market dominance by house music and techno, we still value guitars. Country pickers and folkies, shoegazers, jazz cats, post-rockers, fuzz-worshipping psychonauts and metalheads—we’ve got them all. And while I still find myself locked in conversations about the silliness of “the guitar”—at least when viewing it as some monolith of rock and roll’s ongoing open-casket memorial service— there is always someone to have my back when I say that synths and DJs have their place alongside the instrument. What makes the guitar so compelling even still is partly its utility in so many genres. Even in electronic music, where a live artist’s entire accompaniment might be synthesized, with live guitar and vocals suddenly there is an element of improvisation, a way to organically link the artist and audience to right now. You are watching someone play something they might never play just quite the same way ever again in the history of everything. That’s reason enough to go see a show. It doesn’t have to be ripping solos, though we’ve likely all seen a few that are unforgettable. It can even just be the intonation used; the way someone plays a simple chord progression; musical moments that become intimate even from the sometimes impersonal disconnect of audience and stage. Because you were there connecting with other people and the music in a perfect now-ness, only ever to be imitated in similar moments for other people, but never quite the same.

large-scale collaborative effort between illustrators, painters and poets. Elsewhere, painter Patrick Dean Hubbell’s Synthesis wows in a midsized room just off the front lobby. Hubbell, a member of the famed Diné weaving family, helped with the install himself, adding a narrative element within the order of the paintings akin to progressing seasons. Hubbell draws from his family’s weaving designs, implementing zig-zag imagery and small crosses among subtle and mysterious backgrounds of oil, acrylic and handmade earth pigments beneath foregrounds of abstraction and floral representation. “I like to use the reference of the textiles and the geometric patterns not just from weaving, but throughout Indigenous art forms,” Hubbel tells SFR. “Some of those

here’s a charm to the crampedhouse aesthetic of numerous iconic Canyon Road galleries, to be sure, but there’s also much to be said for the sprawling contemporary-museum atmosphere of Gerald Peters Projects. You can’t miss the space—it takes up nearly a city block on Paseo de Peralta near Acequia Madre—and, frankly, director Mark Del Vecchio has been killing over the three-year run of his tenure so far. There are many shows running at Gerald Peters Projects; most notable at present is Karen Lamonte’s Embodied Beauty (through Aug. 17), a multimedia figurative sculpture series that finds glass, ceramics and even iron taking on the forms of life-sized clothing items such as dresses, kimonos et al; while empty, they convey subtle figures inside—the shadow of a navel or the curve of a breast. For the immediate future, however, GPP has five concurrent openings this Friday June 21, and each hits hard and fast. Just inside the door, find Speaking to the Imagination: The Contemporary Artist’s Book, a small but powerful collection of handmade papers and books curated by the gallery’s book store director John Maker. Imagination takes the concept of books and turns it on its head, making use of handmade paper, illustration, format-busting paper folding and fine artistry. Dale Harris’ Book of Cranes is particularly stunning, a
were literal translations for me, but it kind of became the generalization of the movement of nature.” Roses are commonplace in Synthesis and, in the center of the room, painted baskets convey a cycle of day and night. On one end, lighter pastel colors conjure bright images of sun, springtime and renewal; at opposite, darker colors and varying paint consistencies feel like nighttime. At the center, a minimal sand installation represents the colors of the earth Hubbell uses in crafting paints of his own. “It grounds the entire exhibition to that one center point,” he explains. “It’s representative of the ceremonial, traditional use of paint and pigments from our Navajo cultural side.” Deeper still in the gallery, photographer Nicole Cudzilo’s The Edge impresses
Patrick Dean Hubbell’s “You Give Me Hope in Dark Times,” part of his Synthesis show at Gerald Peters Projects—one of five opening this weekend.

beyond measure with magically real selfportraiture shot throughout New Mexico and California’s Pacific Coast Highway. “They’re sweeping, beautiful landscapes, of course,” Del Vecchio says, “but this character, with the wig you know is a wig and dressed mid-century, like, ’50s and ’60s, really ties them in.” Think Wyeth’s “Christina’s World,” though real life; Cudzilo sitting among a sea of flowers or scanning the horizon from some seaside cliff. Find lush forests as well, an abandoned rodeo ground, a long stretch of highway. “She’s taking them herself,” Del Vecchio adds. “She’s got her remote, and I’m sure she takes practice shots, but she’s also composing each shot in her head while she’s doing it.” Find as well painter Lorraine Shemesh’s The Space Between Us, a jaw-dropping series that marries lifesized figure work with colorful expressionism and geometric wonders. Shemesh hides rewards for the careful viewer; study the pieces. Shemesh also works in ceramics, crafting vessels that recall something as familiar as the world around us to the fantastical universe above. “Double Flange Vessel,” from 2015, stands out particularly, recalling the rings of Saturn for this arts appreciator—but also earth tones and, perhaps, a powerful drill bit. Lastly, the ceramics group show Fresh Blood pulls both from Del Vecchio’s desire to represent up-and-comers (all the artists are under age 35) and from his background in ceramics curation. Make special note of Patrick Kingshill’s sparse contributions, which strip away artifice for earthen tones and pleasing shapes; and of Korean artist Yoonjee Kwak, whose painstaking methods recall weaving or knitting with smart use of negative space.

The second annual Madrid Film Festival is on the calendar, and after last year’s sold-out two-night run, it’s bigger and better for 2019. The crew is accepting submissions as you read this, and you only have until Friday June 28 to head to theaterofdeath.org to get in on the action. Any genre of film (30 minutes or less) made in the last year in New Mexico is welcome and judged by a diverse group of folks with backgrounds in film, and the whole shebang goes down in Madrid Friday-Sunday July 26-28. Author and Madrid mainstay Andrew Wice (andrewwice.com) co-hosts the event with fellow mainstay and entertainer Joe West. We caught up with Wice about what to expect. In short: the unexpected. (Charlotte Jusinski) Did you think this fest would be such a ridiculous success last year? That might be what one hopes for, but as the first film festival we’ve ever put on, you never know for sure if people are going to share the excitement. So it was very gratifying and encouraging, and we’re hoping to return that enthusiasm back to the crowd. We’ve got a lot more films coming in this year, and the idea is to grow this and have it continue to get better and bigger as time goes on.

Some people who don’t know Madrid well may not think this event will be polished, but last year there were some really gorgeous submissions. What might you say to anyone who expects this to be rinky-dink? Madrid, despite its small size, has the highest concentration of artists of any place that I’ve ever lived. So the talent and the overlapping qualities of experience and knowledge and effort make this a really creative little powerhouse. Also, this year we’ve expanded the scope to not just in the area around Madrid, but the entire state of New Mexico. So we’re getting films from Shiprock all the way to Las Cruces—so that’s going to increase both amateur filmmaking and … films from production companies that are trying to get up off the ground in a very competitive industry. You kind of got roped into this last year unexpectedly. But now you’re back. So I guess it went okay, huh? I’ve had the good fortune to be able to collaborate with Joe West on a couple projects now. … We were working on something else, and Joe is the one who will just follow his heart, and he thought, ‘Let’s see if we can do a film festival.’ So I got pulled along with that. But as it got deeper and as we found our sea legs, it got more and more exciting. We saw the quality of the films coming in and the enthusiastic response of having two totally sold-out shows. It resulted in us adding a third day this year; the Friday and Saturday will be two separate programs of about an hour and a half each, and on Sunday we will run both programs straight through. … The downside of the unexpected runaway success [last year] was that many people were unable to get into the very charming—but not endlessly capacious—Engine House Theater. … We don’t want to expand too quickly. There was thought about doing some outdoor [screenings] in the ballpark amphitheater, but we don’t want to go too fast. So we’re just going to manage it and keep the quality very high.

ACTING OUT I’m Changing My Major to Alison he Santa Fe Playhouse is taking a lot of risks this year, not the least of which is presenting plays that, while critically acclaimed, not everyone has necessarily heard of. Recognition is a huge part of audience draw and stability in the theater world; advance sales for “oh-I-love-that-one” shows like The Importance of Being Earnest last year or 2017’s Cabaret are depended upon to buoy seasons that otherwise may not have the same household-name quality. This year doesn’t feature a single show that would cause your average theatergoer to gasp. Risky move. The playhouse’s first two offerings, the grossly under-recognized Trevor and last month’s complex Marjorie Prime, are now followed by the musical Fun Home. If you didn’t gasp when you heard the title, you should have. And, truth be told, if you don’t rush to buy your ticket ASAP, you likely won’t get one. It’s the based-on-a-true-story, Tonywinning piece by Lisa Kron, Jeanine Tesori and Alison Bechdel about Bechdel’s unique upbringing, coming-ofage and coming-out in college, and the fallout from her father’s secret life and subsequent suicide. If it sounds heavy, it doesn’t come across that way—any intense topics are dealt with in delicate poignancy rather than bludgeoning misery. A huge cast features three Alisons (small, medium and adult) as we travel through time in her memories, told through a graphic novel that Adult Alison is writing like an omniscient narrator. Fun Home functions like a clown car in every way. Between massive set pieces (a two-story house, an entire dang casket and a breakfront xthat is actually a murphy bed), an eight-piece onstage orchestra hidden behind scrims,
dozens of costumes including Partridge Family-esque performance outfits, a comparatively huge cast (the backstage really isn’t that big) and themes that would make any director’s head spin, the stage itself and ideology of the play alike virtually explode in action and excitement. Side note: For more than two years now I’ve been sitting in the corner, rubbing my hands in a sinister manner, waiting for playhouse Artistic Director Vaughn Irving to screw something up. But he directed this play, and dammit if he didn’t pull it all off with the aid of this remarkable cast and crew. My God. I’m kinda mad about it. The very start of the show, I’ll admit, CARRIE McCARTHY

had me a little hesitant. It took the actors a little bit to settle into their roles and voices, seeming as if they were nervous to sing too loud in such a small theater. The three Bechdel children, Small Alison (Charlotte Carter—more on her later), Christian (Teagan Wetzel) and John (Michael Blessing), take a second to warm up, but once they do, they’re a fantastic little trio that’s quite believable as siblings. We learn early on that their father Bruce (Brent Black) is a closeted gay man and that his marriage with mother Helen is not going too great, understandably (that’s Karen Ryan, who I’m thrilled to see in a role she seems comfortable in—Marjorie Prime was shaky, but here she rocks the same confidence she showed as the sinister Fräulein Kost in Cabaret). We also immediately meet handyman Roy, played by Koppany Pusztai, making his Playhouse debut. Roy is young and supple and charming and exactly who you think he is, with regards to this family’s secret story. (Pusztai plays a number of roles throughout the show, most of which are of a similar ilk, making the ensemble nature of his appearance more easily understood.) Pusztai’s tension with Black is positively exciting, and Black’s masterful dance between self-loathing, bad-choicemaking deviant and fun-loving and goofy dad expertly complements the rest of the cast’s attempts at normalcy. We follow Alison to college, where an awkward but adorable Medium Alison is played by Nadine Pineda; her evolution onstage is as thrilling as it is palpable. She meets Joan (the impeccable Mariah Olesen), and … well, as with Roy, you get
I swooned over all the performances in Fun Home, but 13-year-old Charlotte Carter as Small Alison really knocked my ‘70s-style tube socks off.

the picture. The whole shebang is narrated by Adult Alison, portrayed by playhouse newcomer MJ Sea. And, going back to gasp-inducing names, I can tell you unequivocally that all three Alisons will now be those for me. Sea’s crystalline tones, unshakeable confidence and quiet turmoil brought the audience out of their seats. Pineda shifted so beautifully from blundering homo-curious college freshman to emotionally mature daughter of damaged people that she could evoke laughs and tears from the same sentence. And as for Carter—wow. Wow, wow, wow. It feels inappropriate to curse with regards to the performance of a 13-yearold, so I’ll just say “holy shnikes!” To be fair, Carter’s performance was solid throughout but didn’t necessarily evoke such a passionate response—until the second half of the play, that is. And then “Ring of Keys” happens. The masterful performance was surprising at every turn, especially from a performer so young, blooming with exuberance and innocence coming into its own. But this musical depends so much on tension and self-discovery that it’s gotta be kept new—so no spoilers. Director Irving was right to tap the infallible Sarah Runyan as his stage manager; I cannot picture anyone else in town handling a show this intense and complicated from behind the scenes, and that tight backstage ship is evident onstage. Zoe Burke’s costumes are a feat and a half, and that’s one hell of a set from David Carter and Heather Campbell. Kudos all around on the tech side, even if numbers with more than two folks singing did start to sound a bit muddy (small house problems, maybe?). By the way, get ready for a nonstop ride: There’s no intermission in the 90-ish minute performance. For an intensely emotional show so centered on the people we wish we were, or the people we are but feel we somehow can’t be, with the recurring theme of “I want” repeated so soften, such a physical hurt of yearning extending off the stage and into our chest cavities, Fun Home is fantastically uplifting. The last bit practically brings me to tears again now. Is this review maudlin? Maybe. Am I a bit silly to be starstruck by people I’ve seen onstage a thousand times before? Perhaps. But also, is Fun Home the best show you’ll see this year? Probably. It’s selling out like wildfire, and for good reason. Don’t wait to get a seat.

Good and Loud Jimmy D’s isn’t your typical diner
BY ZIBBY WILDER a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
W
hen I heard that Jimmy and Jennifer Day, the couple behind New Mexico Fine Dining (Trattoria a Mano, Bouche, others soon), were opening a diner, I felt a bit ho-hum. Diner food isn’t something you hear much about these days, especially with its tendency toward the unhealthy, but many people have a soft spot for it, so I decided to give it a go. I wasn’t the only one intrigued, so I joined a group of friends at Jimmy D’s (311 Old Santa Fe Trail, 772-0223; open 7 am-9 pm daily). Fronting Garrett’s Desert Inn, in the space formerly occupied by beloved Santa Fe Bite, the space looks out over Old Santa Fe Trail. My first thought was, “Whoa! Those are some bright chairs!” as I gazed over the large covered patio. You might need sunglasses to sit out there, not for the rays but for the eye-popping primary yellow, blue and red colors rarely used in such concentration in our neck of the woods. My second thought was: “New people-watching spot!” Stepping into the dining room, I was smacked in the face with a feeling similar to my first MoMA experience in the 1980s. Faces, cartoons and collages jumped off the walls and ceiling. There were dots and stripes and comic book word bubbles
It’s beyond bright at Jimmy D’s, and the fish ’n’ chips are some of the best in town.
among big-eyed faces and lots and lots (and lots) of yellow. The restaurant was fairly quiet, but it was loud—as in bright, as in happy, as in energetic; the kind of space you might enter feeling low but leave feeling not just full, but with spirits lifted as well. Jimmy D’s does not particularly resemble a diner. It serves diner food that doesn’t taste like diner food, and though the menu is technically diner-typical, nothing we had was greasy, fast, dine-n-dash fare. Instead, we found smartly conceived, well-cooked and uniquely seasoned, ’Merican items. This makes sense seeing as the chef is CIAtrained Jen Doughty who, along with husband Evan, helmed the kitchen at the Palace; the quality of the food began to make sense. The magic of eating in a group is you get to order and try a whole lot more than when dining alone. We started with the
pimento cheese and avocado dip with club crackers, fiery chile poppers, and Jen’s taco pizza ($6 each). Only in the South would something like pimento cheese be conceived. A mix of cheese, mayonnaise and pimentos, Jimmy D’s version was spot-on and the club cracker accompaniment took me back to long afternoons on my grandparents’ covered porch in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, snacking and arguing over how many Yahtzee rolls grandma already took. The pepper poppers were indeed fiery; giant, meaty peppers, steaming in a coat of thick batter. The cream cheese

did little to cool the burn, but I kept eating them anyway. Jen’s taco pizza, which changes daily and which I assumed would be a pizza with taco toppings, was actually a super-crisp tortilla with pizza toppings. I was too busy puzzling over its inventiveness to take note of the day’s ingredients, but it was delicious and fun to eat. I was cognizant enough, however, to note the soup of the day ($5 for a cup, $8 for a bowl) was cauliflower with sesame oil. Topped with the wispiest whispers of baby chives, I could’ve easily downed a gallon. It was rich, expertly seasoned and packed a punch of unexpected flavor. The same went for the veggie pasta ($14). Consisting more of egg noodles than the medley of veggies such as broccoli, spinach and tomato, it looked a bit plain, but the red wine cream sauce dressing was strangely pleasing, tasting more of green garlic than bold red wine. PacifBeing a child of the Pacif ic Northwest, I freely admit to fish-and-chips snobbery with high expectations that are rarely met. My disappointment with most fish and chips is the batter—frequently it’s too soft for the fish, leaving you with a mouthful of doughy, sweaty fish; like eating a fish sweatthat’s wearing a wool Fisherman’s sweat Jimer. I was pleasantly surprised with Jim my D’s version ($14). The cod was moist, firm and encased in a dry, crispy batter, atop a bed of seasoned curly fries. The fried chicken ($15) had the same crunch, which went well with the soft potatoes au gratin, but the star of the platter was the collard greens doused in vinegar, Southern barbecue style. Pucker up! Another Southern classic brought our diner meal to a close: banana pudding ($6). There’s not much special about it, being that it’s pudding, but when you throw in fresh bananas, crunchy Nilla wafers, and top it with fluffy meringue, well … that’s a whole different ball game.

The Last Black Man in San Francisco Review + FAILS AND

BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

There was probably a time in San Francisco when the everyman and everywoman and every-enby could make their way. But that was so long ago, nobody can remember. The dot-com world took over, of course, and the City by the Bay descended into the unaffordable at best, the downright ludicrous at worst; a recent study found that median rent cost had surpassed $3,500. But what of the natives and the non-tech folk? The people of color and the middle and lower classes? They’re shoved further away from the heart of San Francisco daily, if they can stay at all, and freshman filmmakers Jimmie Fails and Joe Talbot have a thing or two to say about that. The Last Black Man in San Francisco is like a love/hate letter to the city from Fails and Talbot, both natives of the area. Their version of their hometown is long since gone, however, replaced by newcomers with more money than heart and a rapidly changing energy that is unrecognizable to its most steadfast denizens.

basically plays himself, a young man living with his best friend Mont (Jonathan Majors, White Boy Rick) and his grandfather (Danny Glover) on the outskirts of the Bay. He longs to reclaim the one-time family home, a massive Victorian purportedly built by his grandfather in the 1940s and lost in the ’90s. With his family scattered, he and Mont visit the house regularly, touching up the paint, making plans to clean the garden and, when it winds up vacated, squatting inside and reclaiming the space. Fails and Talbots’ script is smart and subtle in its exposing of hard realities. There is no preaching or beating of the chest here; rather, the things that happen happen quietly, without fanfare, like the events of our own real lives. It is not fantastical or overwrought, instead clever and nuanced, particularly with Mont, a gentle soul, playwright and artist who’d follow Jimmie to the ends of the earth
if he asked. Fails impresses as well with his tender portrayal of a dreamer type whose priorities were skewed so long ago, he can barely remember why he made them. Peripheral characters provide context and motive, but without feeling relegated to expositional devices; each plays a vital part, each represents another endangered part of the city. It all works to a heartbreaking head that won’t be spoiled here, but the overall message rings true enough for anyone from any place: People aren’t one thing, and we should never place our faith or identities into a single house, profession, box; maybe we need to leave the debris behind to make room for something truly amazing.

+ HEMSWORTH’S TORSO - DEAD TIRED FRANCHISE; THE REST OF HEMSWORTH
The appeal of Chris Hemsworth continues to elude me in Men in Black: International, a tired reboot of the exhausted popcorn movie franchise about aliens and the government agents who hunt them. The temptation to make a Meh in Black joke at this point is overwhelming indeed, but we’re trying to run a classy operation here. Hemsworth takes over the role of veteran Agent M from Tommy Lee Jones, and that’s the movie’s biggest problem—Jones’ deadpan attitude and delivery were a critical fuel source in the first three films, which maintained a dry comic quality even as the sequel films gradually declined. MIB has always been a second-tier comic book series anyway, but its wry sense of itself was its distinguishing characteristic, and that was only jazzed up by the undeniable comic chemistry between Jones and Will Smith. Such attitude and chemistry are largely absent in this new installation, which brings aboard Tessa Thompson (Hemsworth’s costar in Thor: Ragnarok) as the agency’s newest Person in Black. The film tosses in a couple of throwaway jokes to explain away the gender

dilemma and they’re pretty good, actually, thanks to the reliable comic instincts of Emma Thompson, here MIB’s big boss. The Thompson twins are, in fact, the film’s greatest assets; Tessa and Emma have the funniest scenes, individually and together, and each brings a kind of poise that plays nicely against the frantic direction by F Gary Gray (Straight Outta Compton). They never quite replicate Jones’ deadpan counterpoint maneuvers, but they at least understand the value of them. So much of the comedy in this franchise pivots on attitude, on the characters and their various reactions to the weirdness playing out around them. Hemsworth never finds an effective frequency for his Agent M, sadly, and he flatlines gag after gag with overdone posturing and oversold charm. He does, however, look absolutely fantastic in bespoke summerwear shirts cut to optimize his intrinsic awesomeness. And I’m not being snarky—I mean it. Aesthetically, you cannot argue with that man’s torso. Story-wise, it’s the usual routine: Aliens threaten Earth, the MIB mobilize, CGI monsters are dispatched, boss fight at the end. The film’s International tag refers to its various exotic locales—Morocco, Italy, London, a fake Paris— but there’s a sheen of flop sweat toward the end as the movie tries desperately to distract CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

WOODSTOCK: THREE DAYS THAT DEFINED A GENERATION

+ BEAUTIFUL FOOTAGE - REMINDER THAT EVERYTHING TODAY IS TERRIBLE
In 1969, as music festivals were taking their first shaky steps into existence and America’s youth grappled with the hard realities of the Vietnam War, two artists and two businessmen came together to build a recording studio in Woodstock, New York. Then a burgeoning artists’ community, Woodstock seemed a natural fit for such an enterprise. But with 1967’s Monterey Pop proving there was money to be made in large-scale concert production, those four young men shifted their sights to what still might be the largest gathering of arts and music of all time. The rest, as they say, is history. But what do most of us who weren’t there know of Woodstock? Very little, it turns out. But with Oscar-nominated filmmaker Barak Goodman’s (Scottsboro: An American Tragedy) look at the mother of all music festivals in Woodstock: Three Days That Defined a Generation, we learn of the trials producers faced in the lead up to the event, and how miraculous it was that it happened at all. Woodstock itself actually took place in Bethel, New York, after conservative anti-festival residents in nearby Woodstock took their concerns to the courts. Months of work was made obsolete, and the subsequent (and minimal) four weeks spent transforming a field at Yasgur’s Farm in Bethel into a concert-ready venue left organizers flailing. Faced with being able to complete either the stage or perimeter fencing, the stage won out, resulting in hundreds of thousands of concert-goers simply walking right into the park—tickets or no. In the end, the producers lost untold amounts of money and roughly 400,000 attended, many of whom didn’t pay a dime. More importantly, however, zero violence occurred throughout the three days (and Jimi Hendrix’s Monday morning performance) of Woodstock. Yes, there were medical incidents, occasional bad trips and the food stands ran out of food. But interestingly, the residents of Bethel rallied together to donate what they could, and this becomes the film’s central thesis—togetherness and taking care of one another. This is a wise step from Goodman and com-

Everybody does get together in Woodstock: Three Days That Defined a Generation. pany, particularly since a simple YouTube search yields plenty of concert footage. Learning of the trials and logistics through beautifully remastered footage, however, is fascinating. Interviews with producers, performers and festival-goers feel vital as well, particularly in capturing the feeling of nearly half a million people gathering without incident. Of course, for some, a little part of them never left that field in Bethel, but we can hardly blame them; nothing like it came before, and nothing has since. For these people, Woodstock ought to provide a charming trip down memory lane. For others in search of a pop-rock history lesson or even just interested in the roots of festival culture, it’s a highly watchable if well-trod reminder that if you build it they will come, “it” just didn’t used to be all about commercialism.

ALL IS TRUE

+ ALL-STAR BRITISH CAST; LIGHTING
- OVERSTUFFED PLOT
Recovering English majors will find a lot to love with All Is True, a surprisingly fun and imaginative family drama chronicling the later days of William Shakespeare. Kenneth Branagh directs and plays the lead, which is as it should be—after a lifetime of transposing Shakespeare’s work for modern audiences, Branagh has earned the right to finally portray the Bard himself. The story opens as the Globe Theater burns down in 1613, essentially ending Shakespeare’s professional life. Retiring to his home in StrafordUpon-Avon, the playwright finds simmering family drama. Several dramas, actually: His daughters are mired in small-town scandals and his wife Anne (Judi Dench … Dame Judi Dench) has been harboring nuclear-grade
resentments. The film thereafter contains numerous surprises. For one thing, it’s funny. The dialogue, meanwhile, is crisp and clever; the jokes sly, which makes one realize what thin gruel we typically get in comedic writing these days. Also watch for innovative lighting techniques with candles, a puzzle cinematographers have been trying to crack for 100 years; someone apparently figured it out (see also The Favourite). The family intrigue clicks up another notch when Ian McKellen (Sir Ian McKellen) appears, inevitably somehow, as a significant figure from Shakespeare’s past. McKellen and Branagh share a scene of mischief and warmth as the two old rogues delight in reciting Shakespeare’s most famous sonnet. The theater veterans are working on about 17 different levels in this scene and, for some, it’s bound to be a thrill ride. In fact, all of the dialogue is multivalent, carrying meaning along different vectors as the story unfolds. The script by Ben Elton (of The Young Ones fame!) is, in and of itself, a testament to dense Shakespearean storytelling, though the third act gets awfully speedy and finally spins itself to death as it jams in dubious mystery and progressive revisionism. There’s even a ghost story in this thing. But by the end, we’re pleasantly dizzy from the sustained charm offensive and All is True winds up a generous piece of work from a crack squad of British storytelling veterans. (GM)

+ INCREDIBLE BATTLES; NOSTALGIA - CHEESY; FAR TOO MANY HINTS OF THE NEXT FLICK’S PLOT
Make way for your favorite movie monster and pals to emerge once again with Godzilla: King
of the Monsters, and good grief these guys are a menace! The days of actors in rubber suits trampling over cardboard sets—or even that bad CGI iguana in NYC circa ’99—are all thankfully relics of the past. A sequel to 2014’s Godzilla, the newest entry takes lessons from its predecessor’s lack of monster action, now packing so much in, you’ll worry a bathroom break will rob you of whatever’s on the horizon. Many of the film’s principal actors are recipients of film and television’s highest accolades; Emmys and Golden Globes and such, and their presence is mostly enough to carry weak dialogue or scenes of paper-thin exposition. Vera Farmiga (The Departed) and Kyle Chandler (Peter Jackson’s King Kong) are former spouses grieving the loss of their first child. But they’re also scientists, dammit, both with differing opinions of the creatures (or “Titans,” as the film calls them), and they take action accordingly. Their second child, played by Stranger Things’ Millie Bobby Brown—a character created so a younger audience can have a relatable figure—is caught in the middle of the tug-of-war. Bradley Whitford, Sally Hawkins, Charles Dance, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Aisha Hinds and the great Ken Watanabe fill out the rest of the ensemble cast, and though their talents are certainly underused, it’s good to see them in something so silly that almost anything can be forgiven. Besides, one doesn’t go to a Kaiju movie for the narrative structure or in search of moving performances, but for the spectacle—and we certainly find the spectacular here. With monsters front and center, the visual splendor is quite satisfying. Godzilla and Mothra glow in cool notes of neon blues and greens, while others like King Ghidorah, the three-headed one, accompany violent electric storms saturated in rich yellows and oranges. We see clear shots of the famous monsters battling with coherent editing and no awkward shaky cam close-ups; when the Titans clash, the sound assaults your senses, rupturing eardrums. Even the soundtrack adds to the successful mixing of the effects, accentuating the artificial carnage. But don’t worry, there’s plenty of stereotypical lens flare to distract from the amusingly fake sets. If nothing else, your inner child will love all of it. Although the fanboy cheese is present in every frame, it only tries your patience occasionally. One too many hints were dropped for the next big monster movie, for example, and expect to see your favorite ape thrown into the mix with a wink. In the meantime, leave your analytical sensibilities at the door and enjoy the familiar creatures as they go boom. (Matthew K Gutierrez)

DEADWOOD

+ LOVE OLYPHANT AND MCSHANE - MISSING THE EXPECTED HISTORY AND DRAMA
Ten years after three seasons of David Milch’s HBO series Deadwood left everyone wanting more, its creators try to hang on to those gold flakes with a movie-length sequel. What viewers find in this reprise set on the eve of South Dakota’s statehood is a rather unremarkable swirl through the pan. Sure, it’s at first charming to see the wrinkled skin around Sheriff Bullock’s brooding eyes from a steady Timothy Olyphant (now actually in love with an underused Anna Gunn), a hoary-headed version of Brad Dourif as Doc Cochran and an extremely pregnant Trixie (Paula Malcomson). The overriding emotion, though, is that this old home week of sorts suffers from trying to pack too much into a two-hour stint. Each storyline need not get a predictable tidy conclusion, yet it seems this is the goal of the venture. The flowery, full language of the series is reflected in this version, but we miss the long soliloquies from Al Swearengen, as Ian McShane’s character is sickly and stunted in this plotline. Appearances from Wu (Keone Young) and Dan Dority (W Earl Brown) are disappointing, as is the reliance on a few too many flashbacks. On the whole, there’s little suspense, no surprise and absolutely nothing new. Gone, too, are the tensions of lawlessness vs. community mores and the integral nods to historical social conditions and milestones. It just feels like a shallow tale that relies on how much we loved these people and their bruises a decade ago. Milch hinges this story on the return of George Hearst as the villain du jour. That Hearst had a role in the Black Hills mining boom is true, yet his outsized power here is out of place for a guy who was by then not actually a US senator, but a California state lawmaker who’d be dead in two years. We won’t spoil just how Deadwood the Movie leaves him. Let’s just say the plot isn’t the only thing we wish was in the grave. (Julie Ann Grimm)

+ FELDSTEIN AND DEVER; SMARTER THAN EXPECTED - RUSHED ENDING
On the surface, Olivia Wilde’s directorial debut Booksmart exists someplace between Harold & Kumar, Dazed and Confused and comedian Bo Burnham’s stellar Eighth Grade. But on a deeper level, it examines friendships, modern teenaged interpersonal
MOVIES
politics and sexuality, and a bevy of other issues with humor, sensitivity and wit. Think of Booksmart like Superbad, only with better leads, a well-done feminist angle and smarter writing. Best friends Molly (Ladybird’s Beanie Feldstein) and Amy (Kaitlyn Dever, Last Man Standing) have reached the final day of high school, but the previous four years spent forsaking social lives in the service of good grades and college admissions seem misspent when they learn the apparent slackers of their graduating class are also attending Ivies. Molly hatches a plan: one wild night to prove they could have done both before they leave high school forever having never partied. A seemingly Sisyphean journey follows, from the ill-attended yacht party thrown by that one dweeb no one likes (a surprisingly poignant Skyler Gisondo of 2015’s Vacation) to the drama kids’ absurd murder mystery gathering; from the principal’s weekend Lyft driver status to the mysteriously disappearing and reappearing weirdo (a gloriously melodramatic Billie Lourd). No matter the stakes, though, Molly and Amy remain steadfast in their mutual support, a wonderful but never overwrought premise that eschews the tired cinematic pitfall of competitive women while leaving room for drama and growth. Said growth is admittedly minimal, and there’s an accelerated rate at which conflict is resolved, but these characters learn and evolve readily rather than simply progress by circumstance; the redemptions may be small or feel inconsequential but, for teens, they’re downright monumental. Booksmart is hilarious when it wants to be and clever when it needs, striking a balance between the understanding that high school was somehow the worst time of our lives, but we miss it for its simplicity. Add points for Feldstein and Dever’s effortless chemistry—the film is at its best when it’s simply them riffing—and for queer representation alongside a few worthwhile bit performances from Jason Sudeikis, Will Forte, Lisa Kudrow and Jessica Williams. Add a few more for Dan the Automator’s hypeass soundtrack. Subtract a few for a shoddy resolution which plays out too quickly, but then relax a little because it’s ultimately a ridiculous high school comedy that still winds up being clever and, in many ways, a step in the right direction.

Week of April 17th
ARIES (March 21-April 19): We may not have to travel to other planets to find alien life. Instead of launching expensive missions to other planets, we could look for exotic creatures here on earth. Astrobiologist Mary Beth Wilhelm is doing just that. Her search has taken her to Chile’s Atacama Desert, whose terrain has resemblances to Mars. She’s looking for organisms like those that might have once thrived on the Red Planet. In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to use this idea as a metaphor for your own life. Consider the possibility that you’ve been looking far and wide for an answer or resource that is actually close at hand
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran philosopher Michel Foucault articulated a unique definition of “criticism.” He said that it doesn’t dish out judgments or hand down sentences. Rather, it invigorates things by encouraging them, by identifying dormant potentials and hidden beauty. Paraphrasing and quoting Foucault, I’ll tell you that this alternate type of criticism ignites useful fires and sings to the grass as it grows. It looks for the lightning of possible storms, and coaxes codes from the sea foam. I hope you’ll practice this kind of “criticism” in the coming weeks, Libra—a criticism that doesn’t squelch enthusiasm and punish mistakes, but instead champions the life spirit and helps it ripen.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Philosopher Martin Buber believed that some stories have the power to heal. That’s why he said we should actively seek out stories that have the power to heal. Buber’s disabled grandfather once told Buber a story about an adored teacher who loved to dance. As the grandfather told the story, he got so excited that he rose from his chair to imitate the teacher, and suddenly began to hop and dance around in the way his teacher did. From that time on, the grandfather was cured of his disability. What I wish for you in the coming weeks is that you will find stories like that. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In the 1960s, Gemini musician Brian Wilson began writing and recording bestselling songs with his band the Beach Boys. A seminal moment in his development happened while he was listening to his car radio in August 1963. A tune he had never heard before came on: “Be My Baby” by the Ronettes. Wilson was so excited he pulled over onto the shoulder of the road and stopped driving so he could devote his full attention to what he considered a shockingly beautiful work of art. “I started analyzing all the guitars, pianos, bass, drums, and percussion,” he told The New York Times. “Once I got all those learned, I knew how to produce records.” I suspect a pivotal moment like this could unfold for you in the coming weeks, Gemini. Be alert!
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Help may be hovering nearby, but in an unrecognizable guise. Rumpled but rich opportunities will appear at the peripheries, though you may not immediately recognize their value. A mess that you might prefer to avoid looking at could be harboring a very healthy kind of trouble. My advice to you, therefore, is to drop your expectations. Be receptive to possibilities that have not been on your radar. Be willing to learn lessons you have neglected or disdained in the past. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): As much as I love logic and champion rational thinking, I’m granting you a temporary exemption from their supremacy. To understand what’s transpiring in the coming weeks, and to respond with intelligence, you will have to transcend logic and reason. They will simply not be sufficient guides as you wrestle and dance with the Great Riddle that will be visiting. You will need to unleash the full power of your intuition. You must harness the wisdom of your body, and the information it reveals to you via physical sensations. You will benefit from remembering at least some of your nightly dreams, and inviting them to play on your consciousness throughout the day.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): For the sake of your emotional and spiritual health, you may need to temporarily withdraw or retreat from one or more of your alliCANCER (June 21-July 22): My dear Cancerian, your ances.
